Pieter Bruegel, who worked very closely with Pieter van der Heyden and other engravers, and the publisher Hieronymus Cock, on the translation of his works into the print medium, made very detailed preparatory drawings for his prints. The model drawing for this print, carefully executed in pen, brush and ink and dated 1556, is at the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no. 78755).
